I bought a Canon5D from Digitalfirst in May this year. The camera arrived without a manual. Much of the documentation was in German and I suspect the camera was not sourced in the UK. I contacted Digitalfirst who promised to send out a new manual straight away. Six weeks and twelve phone ... Read review

Quick review of digitalfirst.co.uk
Review of digitalfirst.co.uk by souliouz

They have interesting camera prices but they over-charge for the bundle providing lower spec products. The descriptions of the bundle items is non-existent and misleading. I bought a "leather case" which is just plastic for a leather-price tag and so far they deny the misinformation and seem dishonest stating that "leather case" is fake if they don't way "REAL leather". I must be lucky their camera was a "real camera". The spare battery was only 750mA instead of 1000mA withouth mention of it. I wouldn't have bought the accessories from them if I hadn't been misinformed.

Quick review of digitalfirst.co.uk
Review of digitalfirst.co.uk by grahamanderson

I bought canon S5 IS from digitalfirst.co.uk. I made mistake of not checking their online reviews. I was charged extra for speedy delivery which did not happen. I spoke with one of the representative and shocked with the attitude of the company and representative for customer. They believe that- they are always right. They are arrogant and deaf to customer grievances. Someone has mentioned in online reviews that they are bunch of cowboys, absolutely right. I will never ever deal with this company and if my review helps other, it would be a community service from me by reducing stress and sufferring of people beforehand.

purchasing a camera from Digitalfirst
Review of digitalfirst.co.uk by canon5user

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Extremely poor customer service. Avoid.

I bought a Canon5D from Digitalfirst in May this year. The camera arrived without a manual. Much of the documentation was in German and I suspect the camera was not sourced in the UK. I contacted Digitalfirst who promised to send out a new manual straight away. Six weeks and twelve phone calls later, still no manual. When I called Digitalfirst yesterday they advised me that the company has been placed into administration. I would proceed with extreme ... Read review

Extremely poor service and no goods
Review of digitalfirst.co.uk by mastertc

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Terrible customer services with no goods shipped

The worst experience I have ever had with a supplier. First using their "Live stock" system I was told that there were 19 of my items in stock when I ordered. Two days later (after chasing) I recieved a confirmation that my item had been shipped, my credit card was debited the full amount. On the day of expected delivery I recieved nothing and after ringing to complain was told that they were out of stock and my item had never been shipped despite ... Read review

Hang on a minute.. why the negative feedback?
Review of digitalfirst.co.uk by nick123456

Advantages: Cheapest on the NET. Fast delivery.
Disadvantages: none

I ordered from these yesterday, this company are linked to Camerabox.co.uk (they also have bad reviews) I only saw the feedback, after making the purchase. I ordered a Panasonic Lumix TZ5, and was worried all night, as I thought I was going to get swindled because of all this feedback. I ordered it at 11:30 AM 14th October. I had an email to say it was shipped at around 16:00. It arrived before 10AM 15th October. I opened the box, to see if ...
...was a TZ5.. It was even in black just as I had ordered the day before. Something has got to be wrong somewhere... maybe it doesn't work? I charged the battery up, and it works just like a camera from a more expensive shop would. I just didn't get it... Why so many bad reviews?!? Maybe I am the only person that has had a perfect order? Or just maybe, people who have a bad experience are the only ones to post any feedback. Well.. here's mine. Perfect ... Read review
